Review: "Almost Human season 1 TV review"

The previews of it look promising; high budget production, packed with action, Sci-Fi story and J.J Abrams' lens flare. Come to the actual series, it is not bad but it deserves to be better with all the things involved.

EP 1: It starts off with a big bang featuring a high octane action scene. The rest of the runtime is briskly paced. It doesn't bother to introduce all of the characters in details. It just zooms straight to the action. As usual, the first episode is packed with enough action and thrill.

EP 2-13: After a thrilling 1 episode, unfortunately the rest of the episodes turn familiar and not so fresh. Every episode has a story that has been seen before. The story is just backed by high production, interesting visuals and the likeable chemistry between the two main characters. I was disappointed that the season 1 didn't touch on the Insyndicate, the group mentioned in episode 1. I was eager to find out more about the group and what was their motive. But no, nothing much is mentioned throughout the whole season. At the end of the season, there are questions left hanging. Nothing much is resolved. With the series being cancelled, there is not much hope left.

Overall: The season does not reach up to the standard of the first episode. But it is the likeable chemistry between the main characters that you won't mind watching the other episodes. Fans of Sci-Fi and action should be entertained by this.

Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "The Spirit of Ramayana" (103 minutes) "A passable Thai horror movie with an interesting concept but weak execution." As a low-budget horror movie, it has enough entertainment values. In the recent years, there are a few strong Thai horror movies with decent production values and there are many mediocre low-budget horror movies. The Spirit of Ramayana is somewhat in the middle. It may not look that polished but its themes and concept are intriguing enough. The story: The narrative is straight forward however its editing made the movie look messy and disjointed. It is a simple story about Mintra, a young dancer who is rejected for the main role because she cannot pull off an evil and sensual side. However, a spirit helps her to unleash her dark side. On paper, it sounds like a supernatural Black Swan. It lacks the emotional depth of Black Swan as the director seems only interested in churning out cheap scares. As the plot develops fur...

Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "The Green Hornet movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not a bad movie to start on January, a month which okay movie are out. The Green Hornet is a special hero with cool gadgets and cars but the movie turns him into a generic superhero. It is entertaining at best but if you look for a complex plot with a lot of characters' development, this will not sastify. Reid aka The Green Hornet at first in the movie acts like an asshole and making out with girls. Then his father's death hit him hard, but not hard enough. He meets kato and they become The Green Hornet and Kato fighting the bad guys as bad guys. The action scenes are many and loud with explosions. The fight scenes are often played in slow motion. The climax features a cool car chase, a gun fight and a fight in the office. Boom! The climax is loud and explosive and even tearing down the whole office. And it is cool. Who doesn...
